Welcome
We are Oyster and we are passionate about what we do... beautiful bags, fabulous boxes, sumptuous ribbon, alluring tissue paper, gorgeous wrap and fabric bags to die for... all designed with you in mind and produced to your exact requirements.
We love what we do and we are very proud of the way we do it! No men in grey suits who are your best friend when you have an order to place and then disappear once you’ve signed on the dotted line... no Power Point presentations to send you to sleep, no lengthy corporate speak and no hassle.
Oyster gives you honest, concise, relevant advice and guarantees you get the very best results possible for your business and your budget.
Our new website will give you an idea of what we offer, what our existing clients say about us and hopefully a good insight into us and what we stand for.
We hope you enjoy it and we fire up your imagination!

Brands
The power of a well managed brand is incredible. Powerful brands make customers desire products and services above their competitors. Well executed Brands can influence choices forever and those who buy the brand promote its desirability. A good brand uses a multitude of ways to communicate with its core audience and packaging provides an essential medium that offers a subtle, tactile message of quality and desirability that cannot be under estimated.

PlayBoy
A beautifully subtle box to make any Playboy purchase extra special and yet discreet. When Playboy found Oyster in their subscription list they gave us the chance to claw back some of the thousands of pounds we spent on magazines in our youth...!

Independents
At Oyster we pride ourselves in treating our small independent retail clients exactly the same as our international fashion brands. Picture the scene – it’s your shop, its near closing time, another good day, the tills have been ringing! A new customer walks in - she loves the store, the effort you have put into the design and finish, even the tiny details you thought no one else would notice. She is drinking it all in, loving everything. This season is perfect, you have bought well, everything fits and she is thinking big... a whole new wardrobe maybe.
You are getting on, a rapport is building, she wants everything and you know she will come back; you and your business have made an impression that is going to stay with her and finally she takes her designer wallet out of her latest handbag...
How would you want this story to end?
Oyster would ensure your packaging would end it perfectly... the bags would complement and enhance the effort you have put into your business. Beautiful finishes, maybe a hint of varnish and a sliver of ribbon, tactile handles to heighten the senses and presentation of your brand in a way that will stay with your clients and those they pass on the high street for a very long time...
That is what Oyster is here for – beautiful bags, fabulous boxes, alluring finishes, complementing tissue paper and ribbon to die for... everything you need to finish the story perfectly!

PROMOTIONAL
The successful promotion of your business or event can be the difference between profit and loss... We are not saying that great goody bags or sexy exhibition carriers are more important than the location, the right stand, the champagne, dancing girls, the fire eater or A list celebrities but they can help!
The good news is that we have the facility to deliver premium carrier bags to your event in 7 days so if you have been schmoozing with George or Sienna and have (understandably!) forgotten the bags don’t worry...!
At Oyster, working to tight deadlines is part of what we do, and we love the challenge!

JANE CHURCHILL
